Khemmis - Avernal Gate

Burn the veil of heresy
Before it takes another life
Where hope dies with every dream
Ashes raining from the skies

I breathe them in to clear my head
But I choke upon the flame
A dying light to illuminate
Before I reach the end

These faded lives are all we have
To find our way through shadowed lands
We stumblе on with broken backs
Holding hearts in calloused hands

A storm of liеs within my head
As the waves keep crashing down
The turbid water won't recede
And I fear that I will drown

No stars above, the creeping dark
Smothers all the lights below
This face that haunts me is my own
Upon his pallid throne

These faded lives are all we have
To find our way through shadowed lands
We stumble on with broken backs
Shielding hearts from callous hands
I cast aside the shroud
To reveal what's underneath
The ground beneath is churning

With unblind eyes, I see oblivion beyond the gate
Beneath the tide of cinders, I accept this is my fate
